So I got my first mods done. Yesterday I met up with Tim W. and Mike at Tim's Tint guys shop. So I dropped the car off and we grabbed some lunch.

The tint looks HOT!!! I am not big into to tint but with a black car it looks great I went with a very mild 30% tint all the way around.

Tonight I tackled the B&M SSK, Teq. E-brake, and shifter (BTW ARLING @ LUCENT came through again best price I could find! Shipping was quick too, THANKS Man!). I have done this combo I think 6 or 7 times so I can crack it out in less then an hour. I have the ebay pedals to install, X73 coming next week, Flash soon, and wheels still to come. I am still undecided on the wheels though. I picked up a set of the GT3/GT2 OEM wheels, I don't know if I want to keep them silver or go Flat black and give the TT that stealth look that I do love... Silver looks great too! decisions decisions hmmmm Grrrrr

 

Wow looks great Eric... i'll do that on the Boxster
btw congratz on the TT...

 

Sandoval, where did you get the X73 from?

 

Thanks!

FP: $2355 Suncoast.

 

I don't know why anyone would mod a Turbo I mean they're perfect from the factory...

 

Sandoval, go for full black wheels or leave a silver lip like the factory painted wheels. Stealth look will be nice!

I saw your post about brake upgrade on 996 section. Do you know what do we need to fit 6 pots GT3 front steels brake into out TT? Thanks!!

 

love those posters.

post a pic of your car and im sure te resident photoshop junkies will 'shop your wheels for you.

 

Sandoval,
Did you tint the winshield as well?
I just had mine done 50%. The rest of the car is 20% (prev owner did it).
I am concerned about the Scottsdale heat & sun so I did the winshield as well.

 

Excellent mods Sandoval! Can't beat the X73 for a street driven turbo and the GT2/3 style wheels look great on the turbo. I'd leave them silver and if you wanted, you could paint the stock wheels black. These GT2/3 wheels are rare to see on a turbo.

 

I too was toying with the idea of flat or gloss back on these wheels. As cool as I think they are, I am keeping mine silver.

 

It was major improvment Eric. Personally I would leave the wheels silver.

Great hanging out in the afternoon. You make a great cabinet supervisor

 

The mod bug has bitten.

Luis only the front, 1/4, and rear. I love the look of tint but I don't like looking through it. So I went very mild with a true black/smoke color.

Ray I will see if I can come up with the info I do not have it off hand.

Tim not a problem I will surf the Net while you work any day!


As for the wheels I will try them in Silver and see how that goes...

 

Eric, are you still coming to the meet at Paragon this Saturday AM?

 

Ronnie:

Is that at 10am? Can I come if i only have my Jetta
